When I get half a second (after Blood & Treasure Second Edition and NOD 29 and Mystery Men! Second Edition), I want to write a quick book called 200 Lines about 100 Men-At-Arms. A nice random selection of folks, with some tables for names, and such. I took the time to peruse a whole crap load of Osprey plates featuring different warriors throughout time, and thought, in the meantime, I'd share how those men-at-arms were equipped.
So here's over 400 men-at-arms and their equipment, arranged by time period (-35c means 35th century BC, 5c means 5th century AD, and I'm sure you can figure it out from there). Use them as henchmen or randomly encountered warriors or random starting gear for fighters or whatever else you can think of. If you have a d408 you're golden. You could also roll 1d5, then either 1d100 or 1d8 to generate a random man-at-arm.

Awesome list!
ReplyDeleteIndeed an awesome list.
ReplyDeleteAre you aware, John, of an article from WD 20 (in 1983 I think) called 'Dungeons and ... Dragoons?' that listed various troop-types from outside of Fantasy Europe for use with D&D games? Many an hour I spent trying to smash together that article with the DDG, and the description of the 'Known World', the Monster listings for Human Nomads and the lists of mercenaries from the
Expert Set.
I do remember seeing that article. In fact, it got me thinking about men-at-arms through history and lead to me doing this.
DeleteGreat post, would love to get my hands on the Men-at-arms book you described!
ReplyDeleteWhat Brutorz Bill said. I loves me some Byzantine cataphracts!
